Masdevallia Diego Bogarin

This exceptional primary hybrid between Masd. trochilus and Masd. guttulata produces elegant flowers with refined form and graceful presentation, blooming reliably when provided with intermediate to cool conditions and consistent care.

• Light: Bright indirect light with 50-70% shade cloth protection. Avoid direct sunlight which can damage foliage.
• Temperature: Intermediate-cool grower. Daytime 63-75°F (17-24°C), nighttime 54-63°F (12-17°C). Maintain a 10-12°F day-night differential for optimal blooming.
• Humidity: 65-80% with good air circulation. Use humidity trays or humidifiers while ensuring adequate airflow to prevent disease.
• Watering: Keep media consistently moist. Mounted plants need daily misting, potted specimens 3-4 times weekly. Reduce slightly in winter without allowing complete drying.

Additional Notes

Named in honor of Costa Rican botanist Diego Bogarín for his contributions to orchid taxonomy. Best grown mounted on tree fern or cork bark, though adapts well to small pots with fine bark mix or sphagnum moss.
